I just came back from the vet's office, as my dogs had their grooming appt. When I was paying, I noticed, and began admiring a BEAUTIFUL tri-color Aussie Shepherd boy who was standing behind the counter. The receptionist said, "Isn't he beautiful? That lady (pointing) just adopted him from the animal shelter a few minutes ago!"
The office girls stopped gushing over him and took him out to his new mom, a lady in her 60's. I went over to him and knelt down and he immediately came to me, put his head against my chest, and "cuddled in." Then he offered me his paw! MELT! I asked him to "shake hands" and he did it!
The office girls began talking about him again, and then I found out that his previous owners here had just MOVED AWAY AND LEFT HIM!!!!! I got so angry, and blurted out, "Well, we need to find out where they moved and send them a big box of POO!" Everyone agreed.
Thank goodness he was rescued from his abandoned home, as we are still having hot temps and drought! And thank goodness he seems to have a good forever home. "Rex" is scheduled for his neuter on Tuesday, and will then be all set to live out his days as an inside/outside dog!
How can people just leave an animal?
